Purpose and centre console fitment

The presented ashtray has been designed as a Console Parts component for Mercedes W176 class vehicles, located in the front area of the cockpit. The construction is intended for integration with the factory centre console, which translates into stable seating, proper operation of the opening mechanism, and the preservation of the original interior design lines. This solution allows for the seamless replacement of a worn or damaged element without the need to modify other components.

Appearance and interior integration

The ashtray is finished in black, which makes it easy to visually match most interior configurations used in the Mercedes W176. The neutral, subdued colour blends well with both dark and lighter console panels, maintaining a consistent cockpit character. The element has been designed to create a uniform surface with the surrounding panels when closed, without unsightly gaps or misalignments.

Functionality in the front vehicle area

The location in the front part of the vehicle provides convenient access to the ashtray for the driver and passenger without the need to take their eyes off the road for longer than necessary. The design is intended for daily use in both urban and long-distance driving, with an emphasis on:

• ergonomic positioning within the centre console,
• easy opening and closing while driving,
• the ability to quickly empty and maintain cleanliness in the cabin.

As a result, this element serves not only a functional role but also helps in maintaining an orderly, neat interior.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered ashtray comes from the used parts segment, which represents a reasonable compromise between cost and maintaining the original character of the Mercedes interior. Choosing such a solution allows for an economical repair or refreshment of the centre console while maintaining factory appearance and mounting compatibility. For many users, this is a practical alternative to new components, especially during comprehensive cabin interior work.

Selection support and upgrade expansion

The element has a dedicated OEM part number and associated interchangeable numbers, which facilitates precise identification and selection of the correct ashtray for a specific vehicle configuration. If necessary, you can verify compatibility with the numbers found in the technical specification to ensure that the selected component will work correctly with your version of the centre console.

Operational and purchasing advice

When choosing used interior elements, it is worth paying attention to the condition of the surface, the operation of the opening mechanism, and the general visual consistency with other cockpit components. A well-chosen ashtray avoids differences in shade or texture that could disrupt the stylistic consistency of the cabin. Proper installation in the front part of the centre console will ensure quiet operation of the element and the absence of unwanted play while driving.
